Outcomes and Predictors of Mortality and Stoma Formation in Surgical Management of Colonoscopic Perforations

Abstract: Colonoscopic perforations were in a decreasing trend. Patients with predictors of mortality should not be treated conservatively. Other options of large bowel investigations should be considered in high-risk patients when the potential diagnostic yield is low.

“…Large series of colonoscopy induced perforations managed surgically reported a morbidity rate of 35% [4,7]. The mortality rate in our study is fairly comparable to other reports which is up to 25% [7,8]. Surgical site infection is the most common complication, while cardiopulmonary complications and multiple organ failure are the leading causes of death [7,24].…”

“…Our study demonstrated the same results, but we didn't find statistical significant relationship between time to surgery and postoperative complications. Several other factors are also known to influence outcome, namely, advanced age of patients, severe comorbidities, a large perforation site, poor bowel preparation, corticosteroid use, anticoagulant or antiplatelet therapy [7,8,25].…”

“…Perforations may be pneumatic due to excessive distension of the intestinal wall from high-pressure insufflations or mechanic from the pressure exerted by the gastroenterologist [3]. With regards to the time of diagnosis, perforations produced from diagnostic colonoscopy (due to the mechanical pressure) are larger and are detected promptly since patients are admitted earlier, while those occurring from therapeutic colonoscopy are diagnosed late and are smaller in size [4]. Sigmoid colon is more often affected [5].…”

“…This was associated with 13% mor-tality and 53% morbidity [3]. Recently, two extensive reviews of the outcomes following CP by Iqbal [4] and Teoh [5] showed a mortality rate of 7-26% and a morbidity rate of 37-49%, together with a 38% rate of intestinal stoma formation.…”
